Welcome to Kindergarten, London!
Week before school starts:
London is obviously tense about starting school. He SAYS he’s excited, but won’t go too in-depth on what he thinks will happen or what it will be like. He’s quiet and agitated.
1st Day:
Because Lisa is not an early riser and has never sent a child to school before, she times everything wrong and has London rushing through his morning with an improper...

He can't take a compliment.
London at the dinner table: “Mama, thank you for making this food.”
Lisa reaching over, touching his arm: “London, thank you for saying that! That made me feel good.”
London staring out the window: “Oh, look at that guy running with his dog. That’s serious.”
London on Marriage:
London: Mama, I’m gonna marry Graham.
Graham: Nu-huh.
Lisa: London, do you know what “marry” means?
London: Uh-huh, being friends!
London as we approached Detroits downtown:

Saturday afternoon at Eastern Market in Detroit, London was enjoying smoky ribs that were grilled outside, with Ben.
With his face covered in BBQ sauce, he looked up and said in all seriousness, “Wait, Lis- These aren’t human ribs, are they?!”
WatchBen brought London home a big boy bike tonight! L was thrilled & especially excited to see his bike up on the bike stand just like B’s. He will get to help replace the chain & other parts like he’s watched with excitement as B & our friends have done with their bikes.

Eating a hamburger.
London: “I don’t like the dark part.” (the more well done part) Lisa: “Why not?” London: “Because I wasn’t born to like it.”
Waiting for Uncle Stevie to visit:
London: “Is he in a meeting? Is that why he isn’t here yet? Ask him if he’s in a meeting.”

Ben caught London playing on Uncle Steve’s computer. Ben asked him what he was doing on it and he said, “Oh, I was just emailing Ian about his bike.”
London on living in the suburbs.
“Lis, why do we live where there are no stores? Why does the Ridge only have houses and cars? Why is it boring here?”
Potty Problems II
Whenever L goes #2 he says, “Look, Mom! Look at it!”
To which I respond, “No thanks!”
Tonight L says, “Why not??”
Me: “Because it’s gross!”
London: “…And AWESOME!!”
Potty Problems
London ALWAYS dances around until the last possible minute before going to the bathroom.
Tonight he was asked, “WHY do you wait so long?? When you dance like that you always go poop!”
London’s response was, “I don’t know, I thought I swallowed a ball!”

London: “I hate babies!”
Lisa: “Why??”
London: “A-cause they’re nervous.”
Oh.... LONDON!
Me: “What should I make for dinner? Something quick, easy…?” London: “Is it poop, or what?”
London: “One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleventeen…”
Graham (driving toy truck): “Oh no! Fire!” London (very seriously): “You can’t drive through fire, your truck would blow up and you would burn...
